Hello, I could not find an email address or other method of contacting you so I am attemting to do so through this mailing list. My name is Eric and I own www.bioscentral.com. I noticed you had some mailing list issues and would like to know if you would like to have some forums made up for your use. As it is, I have forums for users to post questions to for some help with their BIOS issues. Although the site tailored to present BIOS's, i.e., AMI, Phoenix, Award, etc.. I can easily add forums for your use. Whatever you would want. If your interested in it, just let me know. Bios Central is a free site. The advertising on the pages is free as well. I make no money from any aspect of the site. I'm not sure if this would be a problem, but the entire site is free for anyone to use. I ask for no money or any other type of compensation. I'm just trying to lend a hand in your development of the LinuxBIOS. Bios Central is going on three years now. The original forums were pulled and these were installed in place of them. The original server that the site was located on did an upgrade that effectively torched the forums. Lost over 5000 messages as a result. It's current home in with a very reliable company that has excellent tech support. Great bunch of people. Anyway, it's been rock stable since moving last March. Not one issue. Feel free to contact me at postcode(a)*NOSPAM*bioscentral.com is you have any questions. I'm not sure if I'll recieve a reply through this mailing list as this is my first mailing list I've subscribed to. Eric www.bioscentral.com

Suport for the Gigabit GA-6BXE
by Ronald G Minnich 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

As I see, there is a posibility to use LinuxBIOS with the Gigabit GA-6BXC series mainboard. I have GA-6BXE so here's my question: how about installing LinuxBIOS on this mainboard. Could I use the files from GA-6BXC to my model ? If not, when (if its possible) is going to be suport for this. I think, that it's no much difference, between this models (am I wrong ?) Albeiro

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: linuxbios Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 18:19:53 +0800 From: "John Usher (Maptek)" <John.Usher(a)perth.maptek.com.au> To: <rminnich(a)lanl.gov> G'day... I have been working on getting LinuxBIOS running on an Arbor EmCore i6352 Single Board Computer, http://www.arbor.com.tw/mini/emcore-i6352.htm and currently have the BIOS working well booting the Linux kernel off of a special partition on a flash IDE drive on the motherboard. I am currently looking into the changes I have made to LinuxBIOS to merge my changes into the latest so I can submit them. The main changes I have had to make are to do with on-board memory and multiple onboard superio chips, and initialisation of the onboard graphics adapter in the simplest fashion possible. The company I work for is looking at getting this software into a new embedded product which will be used for resource tracking. ...John...

Hello, List, I need the following clarification about the LinuxBios boot up information 1. Can LinuxBios boot from CDROM? 2. Can LinuxBios boot from a SCSI Disk? 3. Does anybody have a FAQ or collected information about how the LinuxBios bootup sequence works? Thanks, Balbir Singh.

Greetings, Very intrigued by your work and love the results. It seems to me that mainboard vendors will not be helpful in any way toward this work per your note re: Intel and their newer chipsets. That being my general take on the situation, do you folks know anyone even *beginning* to deal with ServerWorks/SuperMicro boards? Specifically this one: http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/GC_LE/P4DL6.htm I want to contribute to your efforts with this board, but don't even know where to begin yet. If anyone is working on this general species, I'd love to know so I can get a head start. Even better, if someone is willing to figure it out and make it work for $, please send them my way. Many thanks, Eff Norwood
